Improper scaling on low-res display when a hi-res display is also present on the system #9062
Description
Activity
Can you include some screenshots? I do not really understand the issue (and do not have a mac to test on).
- added this to the milestone on Aug 21, 2017
@burnpanck Can you try with current master?
attn @astrofrog can you reproduce this?
Will check this out when I have my Macbook to hand
I'm traveling but will try and test this in a few days
Hmm, I don't think I'm seeing this on the latest master branch. All I'm doing is
import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.scatter(1, 1) plt.show()
and then moving between a retina and low-res screen, and everything seems to scale nicely. Let me know if there's other code I could try out.
I see, I'll therefore give it a shot with latest master too! Sorry for not doing that right away.

@burnpanck - are you still seeing this issue with Matplotlib 2.2? (it should be fixed)
No, I don't see the issue anymore either. I'll close the issue therefore. Thanks for all the good work!
Bug report
Bug summary
This is a follow up on #8061, which was closed in #8931. That PR resolves updating the figure bounds when the figure is moved between displays with different resolutions. However, the issue persists that figures on the low-res display have way too large line widths and text sizes when a retina screen is present.

Screen shots
The following two screenshots are taken from the same window, after moving it on either of my two screens.
